Welcome to the 2026 Clemson Chase Race Information page.

Marblehead Yacht Club Clemson Chase Race, Sunday August 23, 2026 at 1200 hours. This 
is a fun, low key event for captains who have little or no racing experience, as well as the seasoned 
racer. You will be given your own individual starting time based on your boat’s handicap. This often 
eliminates the crowded and intimidating starting line. The slowest handicap boats go first, and the faster 
boats go later. The object is for faster and slower boats to finish about the same time. This race is a 
qualifier for the Mass Bay Sailing Association (MBSA) Pursuit Race Championship.
